The binary logical operator AND in VB.NET is expressed with the keyword AND not using & (string concatenating operator)

If saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK And 
    saveFileDialog1.FileName.Length > 0 Then
  ....

If you set Option Strict On this problem will be signaled at compile time (By the way, there is no need to test for the filename length. The dialog doesn't close if you don't supply a filename)
